Wireless Telecom Equipment can be used for by one or more cellular network access networks or with other communication apparatus communications.For example, wireless communication device design can be become communicate via Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) (WCDMA) cellular network.Perhaps, wireless communication device design can be become via GSM, GPRS, EDGE or any other cellular network communicate.In at least one embodiment, wireless communication device design can be become operate on a plurality of cellular networks, and have the GPS ability.Wireless Telecom Equipment is commonly referred to subscriber station, and it can be the wireless device of any kind that can communicate via wireless medium and cellular network, and it includes but not limited to mobile phone or terminal, computer, modulator-demodulator, personal digital assistant etc.
Fig. 1 shows the functional block diagram of the receiver system that is used for Wireless Telecom Equipment.Receiver system can comprise the GPS receiver 102 with antenna 104.GPS receiver 102 can be realized by the heterodyne architecture with intermediate frequency (IF).Receiver system also can comprise one or more cellular receivers, and this peak nest receiver for example comprises WCDMA, GSM, GPRS, EDGE and/or any other cellular receiver.For convenience of explanation, think WCDMA operation and the single direct conversion heterodyne cellular receiver 106 of design illustrates this receiver system.Those skilled in the art will be applied to the described inventive principle of the whole disclosure in the design of multiple cellular receiver at an easy rate.WCDMA receiver 106 can be shared antenna 104 with GPS receiver 102, and perhaps alternatively, himself can be equipped with antenna.In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, GPS receiver 102 all is connected with the same antenna 104 with WCDMA receiver 106, to reduce cost.
The function of WCDMA receiver 106 is used for the information signal from the WCDMA cellular network is amplified, and filtering and down-conversion are used for WCDMA processor 116.According to the mode that is similar to GPS receiver 102, WCDMA receiver 108 can utilize any amount of amplifier stage and the filter process carrier signal from antenna 104.By with the mixing operation of WCDMA reference signal 108, can from carrier wave, recover information signal.Then, will offer WCDMA processor 116 from the baseband signal of WCDMA receiver 106.WCDMA processor 116 can be used for from information signal generating demodulation, the data of error correction.These data can be text, video, audio frequency, or the data of any other type.
WCDMA processor 116 can be responsible for tuning LO circuit 108.This tuner operation should adopt and make the mode that influences minimum of other receivers is finished.Up to the present among the embodiment of described receiver system, at the LO stand-by period, the performance of GPS receiver 102 may reduce, and the realization of WCDMA processor 116 is tackled this and taken in.A kind of mode that reduces other receiver potential impacts is the tuning cycle of restriction LO circuit 108.The standard that limits the tuning cycle can be dependent on designer's preference, particular communications application and overall design constraints and changes.In at least one embodiment of WCDMA processor 116, LO circuit 108 is lacked the tuning of duration with the frequency interval that repeats.In another embodiment of WCDMA processor 116, only when the frequency error in the baseband signal surpasses threshold value, carry out tuning to LO circuit 108.Those skilled in the art will be easy to determine to be suitable for most the standard of application-specific, so that to regular tuning control of LO circuit 108.
For the operation of WCDMA processor 116 is shown, regular tuning algorithm will be described.For this reason, term " regular (perodic) " and " termly " mean " meet (onoccasion) " in case of necessity, and not with the time cycle or the frequency-independent of LO tuner operation.In described embodiment, WCDMA processor 116 can comprise the frequency-tracking function, to detect the frequency error in baseband signal.The frequency-tracking function can be used for compensating the small frequency errors of baseband signal.For bigger frequency error, tuning control signal 116a can be generated by WCDMA processor 116, so that be applied to the voltage of the tuning input of oscillator 110 by adjusting, carries out tuning to LO circuit 108.For guaranteeing high-performance, even if the frequency-tracking function should provide the baseband signal compensation at the LO stand-by period.In WCDMA processor 116, can set up one or more threshold values, and itself and frequency error are compared, to determine whether that tackling LO circuit 108 carries out tuning.These threshold values are in state of activation according to GPS receiver 102 or are in idle condition and different.Can provide condition indicative signal 102a to WCDMA processor 116 from GPS receiver 102, so that threshold value to be set.Threshold value also can be according to the type of cellular receiver and difference.For example, the threshold value of WCDMA receiver can be different from the threshold value of GSM receiver.Those skilled in the art can determine the appropriate threshold of its application-specific at an easy rate based on overall design constraints and performance parameter.
In at least one embodiment of WCDMA processor 116, first threshold can be used for starting the tuner operation of LO circuit 108.Can select this first threshold so that be suitable for WCDMA operation most, and this first threshold can be in state of activation or is in idle condition and regulated according to GPS receiver 102.For preventing reduction, can generate a tuning index signal 116b by WCDMA processor 116, and provide it to GPS receiver 102, so that the GPS operation failure in LO stand-by period GPS performance.
In case tuner operation begins, WCDMA processor 116 is sustainable to carry out tuningly to LO circuit 108, be brought down below second threshold value until frequency error.Similar with first threshold, can select this second threshold value so that be suitable for WCDMA operation most, and this second threshold value can be in state of activation or is in idle condition and regulated according to GPS receiver 102.In case frequency error is brought down below second threshold value, just can stops tuner operation, and can use tuning index signal 116b notice GPS receiver 102 resume operations.
Before GPS receiver 102 can resume operations, it must at first regain gps signal.This obtaining is the thick Synchronous Processing that is used to provide for the estimation of the skew of PRN sign indicating number and Doppler's carrier wave.This processing relates to the two-dimensional search to space and frequency, wherein, and with replicating code and carrier wave align with the reception gps signal (align).Perhaps need a plurality of frequency hypothesis to obtain processing to finish this.Obtain the time that is spent for reducing signal, the frequency error signal 116c that the frequency-tracking function by WCDMA processor 116 can be generated offers GPS receiver 102.This information can be used by GPS receiver 102, to be limited in the Doppler's searching carrier on the frequency spectrum.
First and second threshold values can be different.The effect of this method is that the tuner operation to LO circuit 108 has added lag element.Below, with reference to Fig. 2 this principle being described, Fig. 2 depicts the LO tuner operation curve as the function of frequency error.With reference to Fig. 2, obviously can find out, when frequency error increases to first threshold frequency F from 0Hz
1The time, do not carry out the LO tuner operation.At first threshold frequency F
1Below, the WCDMA processor can compensate the frequency error of baseband signal.Yet, in case frequency error surpasses first threshold frequency F
1, then WCDMA processor 116 begins tuning LO circuit 108, to reduce frequency error.Continue to carry out the LO tuner operation, be reduced to the second threshold frequency F until frequency error
2Below till.Those skilled in the art can be to threshold frequency F
1With F
2Between the interval be optimized so that the whole tuning duration minimum of LO circuit 108.
In Fig. 3, demonstrate the functional block diagram of WCDMA processor.The WCDMA processor can utilize multiple (I-Q) architecture to realize.For convenience of explanation, in Fig. 3, the WCDMA processor will be described functionally, and I of not mentioned separation (homophase) and Q (quadrature) channel.WCDMA processor 116 comprises carrier wave and the timing recovery circuit to Rake receiver 302 feed signals.Rake receiver 302 can utilize the independent decline that can distinguish multipath to realize diversity gain.Particularly, Rake receiver 302 can be configured to handle for one or more multipaths of the downlink transmission that arrives Wireless Telecom Equipment.Each multipath can be fed to one independently branch road (finger) processor recover to carry out PN sign indicating number despreading and Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor OVSF (OVSF) sign indicating number.Then, Rake receiver 302 will merge from the result of each finger processor, with the symbol that recovers to be launched on downlink transmission.
The output of Rake receiver can be used for driving timing and recovers loop 304.Regularly refer to from downlink transmission, extract timing information, and the processing that utilizes this timing information to make that local clock is synchronous.Then, this clock (not shown) can be used for sampling from the digital baseband signal of WCDMA receiver 106 (referring to Fig. 1).Particularly, timing recovery loop 304 can be used for estimating the timing error by between 302 restored symbol of Rake receiver and the local clock speed, and adjusts this local clock so that timing error minimizes.Then, this local clock (not shown) can be used for the sampling phase of controlled sampling device (decimator) 306.Timing recovery circuit is known in the art.
The output of Rake receiver also can be used for driving frequency track loop 308.Frequency lock loop 308 can be used in combination with circulator 310, with the frequency error in the compensation baseband signal.Circulator 310 can utilize multiple multiplier or other similar devices to realize.This frequency error can calculate by multiple technologies known in the art.
The frequency error that is calculated by frequency lock loop 308 can be provided for threshold dector 312.According to the mode that will more describe in detail later on, threshold dector 312 can be used to control the regularly tuning of LO circuit 108 (referring to Fig. 1).Below, with reference to flow chart shown in Figure 4, the operation of threshold dector 312 is described.In step 402, can carry out initialization to threshold dector, this realizes by powering up usually.During signal obtained, threshold dector should remain on initial condition.During initial condition, threshold dector can be set to first state.Though not shown in Fig. 4, in case the WCDMA processor need obtain this signal again, threshold dector just should be forced to turn back to initial condition.
In step 404, in case the WCDMA processor obtains this signal, threshold dector can break away from initial condition, and first threshold F is set
1First threshold F
1Can be in state of activation or be in idle condition adjustment according to the GPS receiver.In step 406, threshold dector receives the frequency error measurement value F from frequency lock loop
e, and in step 408, with itself and first threshold F
1Compare.If the frequency error F that measures
eLess than first threshold F
1, then threshold dector is circulated back to step 406, waits for the next frequency error measurement value F from frequency lock loop
eOtherwise, if the frequency error F that measures
eSurpass first threshold F
1, then in step 410, threshold dector is set to second state.
In case the output of threshold dector is set to second state, the second threshold value F then is set in step 412
2The second threshold value F
2Can be in state of activation or be in idle condition and adjusted according to the GPS receiver.In step 414, threshold dector receives the new frequency error measurement value F from frequency lock loop
e, and in step 416, with itself and the second threshold value F
2Compare.If the frequency error F that measures
eGreater than the second threshold value F
2, then threshold dector is circulated back to step 414, waits for the next frequency error measurement value F from frequency lock loop
eOtherwise, if the frequency error F that measures
eBe brought down below threshold value F
2, then in step 418, first state is put back in the output of threshold dector.Then, threshold dector is circulated back to step 404, waits for the next frequency error measurement value F from frequency lock loop
e
Refer again to Fig. 3, threshold dector 312 can be used for control switch 314.Switch 314 can be used for the state according to threshold dector 312, and the frequency error multichannel that frequency lock loop 308 is calculated decomposes on the circuit in two outlet lines.When threshold dector 312 is in first state, frequency error can be coupled to circulator 310 by switch 314.With this pattern, this frequency error can be used for compensating baseband signal, and needn't tuning LO circuit 108 (referring to Fig. 1).
When threshold dector 312 was in second state, switch 314 also can be used for the frequency error from frequency track loop 308 is coupled to transducer 318.Transducer 318 can be used for generating and the corresponding pulse-width signal of frequency error.Filter 322 can be used for pulse width modulated signal conversion is become aanalogvoltage.This aanalogvoltage is used to provide the tuning control signal 116a that LO circuit 108 (referring to Fig. 1) is carried out coarse tuning.Scaler 316 generates and can be applied to circulator 310 so that the digital signal of the fine tuning in the numeric field to be provided.For preventing that the GPS performance from reducing, when threshold dector 312 was in second state, threshold dector 312 can be used for making the GPS operation failure by tuning index signal 116b.Frequency error signal 116c from frequency lock loop 308 can be provided for GPS receiver 102 (referring to Fig. 1), so that in case LO circuit 108 (referring to Fig. 1) is carried out the tuning gps signal that just obtains again.
The WCDMA processor can comprise that also being used for signal obtains and synchronous searcher 324.This obtains to handle to relate to the zone of ignorance of time and frequency is searched for, so that make spread pilot signals slightly align with replicating code.At a plurality of frequency hypothesis, 326 pairs of different PN sign indicating numbers of PN code generator sort.Searcher 324 also can be used for forcing threshold dector 312 to enter first state during signal obtains.Utilize this method, can carry out signal acquisition process LO circuit 108 (referring to Fig. 1) not being carried out tuning and not disturbing under the condition of GPS operation.Obtain processing in case finish, searcher 324 can use pilot signal to discern the arrival of strong multipath, and it is distributed to the branch road of Rake receiver 302.Rake receiver 302 use these branch roads as timing reference so that the signal of the multipath reflection of each expection is correlated with.
